Directions

Prep 5 minCook 75 min
  1. 1

    Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan (2-quart or larger). Add the ketchup and cola, stirring to combine and submerge the chicken.

  2. 2

    Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce to medium-low so it bubbles softly. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the chicken reaches 165°F and the sauce reduces to a thick, glossy glaze, about 60–90 minutes depending on heat and pot size.

  3. 3

    Serve the chicken with the sticky sauce as-is, or transfer to a board and shred with two forks, then return to the pot and toss to coat.
